This book was released on 1960 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description is presented of work on the design, development, fabrication, installation, and initial testing and operation of a prepackaged air- transportable pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, the PM-1. The specified output is 1 Mw(e) and 7 million Btu/hr of heat. The plant is to be operational by March 1962. The principal efforts during the third quarter were the furthering of the final design and preparation of specifications for some longlead components. The entire power plant was divided, for final design purposes, into 37 subsystems. The status of work on each subsystem is reported. A revised summary of design parameters is given, with flow diagrams of the primary and secondary systems. The most significant changes were in core design details and in the packaging and housing plan. A scheme for integral housing using the shipping containers for structural components was dropped, except for the decontamination package. Systems development work included preparations for full-scale structural testing of a test package, completion of the survey of incore instrumentation techniques, completion of development work on the reactor control and instrumentation system, and further development of components for the steam generator, condenser, and turbine generator which are not available commercially. The conclusions of the in-core and control instrumentation work are summarized briefly. Reactor development work included: (1) Preparations for the flexible zero-power test (PMZ-1) program. (2) Preparations for the revised fuel element irradiation test program. 13) Continuation of reactor flow tests. (4) Further work on the heat transfer test program, including evaluation and reporting of the seven-tabe test section tests (SETCH-1) and design of a follow- up program and unit (SETCH-2). (5) Completion of the single-tube test section program (STTS-2) and design of the follow-up STTS-3 and STTS-4 programs. (6) Further work on the development and tssttng of magnetic jack-type control rod actuators. Core fabrication commenced with delivery of the first batoh of UO/sub 2/ and pilot runs of fuel element fabrication. Ultrasonic testtng of selected pilot run fuel tubes was conducted. Work continued on study of control rod materials, UO/sub 2/ recovery techniques, and boron analysis. (For preceding period see MND-M-1813.1 (auth).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A description is presented of the work accomplished during the first contract quarter. The contract calls for the performance of design and development, final design fabrication installation, and initial testing and operation of a factory pre-packaged air-transportable pressurized water nuclear power plant. The plant is to produce 1000 kw(e) and 7,000,000 Btu/hr of heat suitable for central heating. It is scheduled to be operational by 9 March 1962. The principal effort was directed toward parametric study of reactor, system, and configuration design variables. An experimental program was initiated to confirm analytical results and, in the case of fuel elements, to perform prefabrication studies. Although the parametric studies are not scheduled to be completed until the second quarter --when they will provide the basis for preliminary design-- numerous results of individual studies are included.

Book excerpt: The objective of the contract is the design, development, fabrication, installation, and initial testing and operation of a prepackaged air- transportable pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant, the PM-I. The specified output is 1 Mw(e) and 7 million Btu/hr of heat. The plant is to be operational by March 1962. The principal efforts during the quarter were the near-completion of the final design and preparation of specifications for plant components. The entire power plant has been divided, for final design purposes, into 37 subsystems. The status of work on each subsystem at the close of the period is reported. A revised summary of design parameters is given, with flow diagrams of the primary and secondary systems. The final design work will be concluded early in the next report period. Systems development work included full-scale structural testing of a test package, preparation for a loading demonstration and testing of the air-steam condenser model. Reactor development work included: (1) Final preparations for the flexible zero-power test (PMZ-1) program. (2) Final preparations for the revised fuel element irradiation test program. (3) Continuation of reactor flow tests. One-fourth-scale model flow tests were completed and preparations for bundle flow and full-scale tests were continued. (4) Further work on the heat transfer test program, including fabrication, installation and testing of test section STTS-3, and fabrication of test sections STTS-4 and SETCH-2. (5) Final design and fabrication of the prototype magnetic jack-type control rod actuators. Work continued on study of control rod materials, with emphasis on fabrication techniques and stabilization of rare earth oxides. (For preceding period see MND-M-1814.). (auth).
